What Are Archival Giclée Prints?
Archival giclée prints are high-quality inkjet prints made using pigment-based inks and acid-free, archival-grade paper. They are widely regarded as the best method for reproducing fine art and photography due to their exceptional detail, color fidelity, and longevity.
The term “giclée” (pronounced zhee-clay) comes from the French word gicler, meaning “to spray”—a nod to how the ink is applied using advanced inkjet technology.
Why Artists and Photographers Choose Giclée Printing
Museum-Quality Output
Giclée prints offer sharp detail and smooth color gradients, closely mimicking the original artwork. This makes them ideal for limited edition art prints, gallery exhibitions, and personal collections.
Fade Resistance
With archival pigment inks, giclée prints can last over 100 years without fading, especially when framed under UV-protective glass and stored in optimal conditions.
Wide Color Gamut
Unlike standard CMYK prints, giclée printers use up to 12 inks, capturing subtle tones and accurate skin or fabric colors. This makes them perfect for reproducing paintings, photographs, and digital art.
